the guy at academy recommend cci stinger but the pt22 is rated at 40 grain at 1280 fps, the stinger i got is rated 32 grain 1640 fps he also said dry firing the pt 22 wouldn't damage it but taurus told me otherwise can u help with this
@bartonjudson For personal carry I would use the Stingers I have had no problems using them. Is there something in the manual that says not to use them? Cause if there is I have yet to see it??? As far as dry-firing I would go with Taurus on that one...it's the same principle for most .22 rimfire guns!
I enjoyed the video and went and purchased a PT22. Thanks for the good info. I do have a question about firing Stingers or Velocitors and whether the weapon can handle it? I seen post either way with some people even claiming damageto the gun after firing Stingers.
@Mattrpm6600 PT22 - WARNING: THIS PISTOL IS DESIGNED TO SHOOT 22 LONG
RIFLE STANDARD AND HIGH VELOCITY AMMUNITION ONLY. DO NOT
USE ANY OTHER AMMUNITION IN THIS PISTOL. Above is copied and pasted from the owners manual! It does not say not to use Stingers? CCI Stinger is rated 22LR so I don't know what the fuss is all about? Unless I'm missing something...might have to do a bit more research on it! Thanks Pal! =)
I know the manual says not to use the hyper-velocity stuff BUT: I sent mine in to the factory , talked to the gunsmith that fixed it, he said they tested it with a variety of ammo to check function and also used CCI Stingers to test it. If the factory shoots Stingers out of them I don't see a problem with using them. The hyper-vel rounds operate at the same pressure so it's no big deal.
all the videos keep sayin that the magazine doesnt slide out on its own. if u hold the button down and flick the gun down, the clip will slide right out...
@rugersix both. my clip slides out whether its empty or full. when its empty, i do have to flick it a little harder. maybe u need to grease your clip or something. im not an expert, so im not sure what you would have to do. call Taurus and ask them about it if you cant figure it out. i will ask them as well.
Correct, if the magazine is empty there is no spring pressure to push the magazine out, if the magazine is full it ejects when the mag release button is pushed. It's just the way the designed it.
I'm looking at getting this for my ccw at work. I have to wear a uniform and its kinda tight on me so I dont want a super big gun. On the same token I have never shot a hand gun so a .25 would be good I think as it doesnt really kick. Plus it just looks so cool! and is good for a poor man like me as far as price!
@rugersix thanks for the quick response, just for that I sub'd ;) Also isnt the .25 supposed to be more reliable since its a center fire? I feel fine carrying either .22 or .25. Can you even count the number of successful assassinations by Mafia hitmen with both of those calibers? It should say something about them! And at close ranges shots to the head, neck and chest with most any caliber will do it. Heck my BB pistol projects BB's at 950 fps! Heck that could kill! Not very effective but ya...
Rugersix, Did you know Mussolini carried a similar pistol in the front pocket of his uniform? Ya much like the berretta, infact is was a berreta! Idk if it was .25 acp or a .32 acp.
@jakep42zer0 For personal protection and for carrying around in ones pocket so to speak I'll take a stiffer DOA trigger pull any day...when it comes down to a life or death situation the last thing on your mind will be how smooth the trigger pull is or isn't. But...I hear ya it could be a bit smoother! =)
Great video man!! I literally just came home with my first PT-22. I bout it for $200.00 even at a pawn shop and you just answered every question that I had. I have been wary of carrying such a small round but lugging the Glock 23 in shorts and a tee shirt in summer is a bitch. I can't wait to test fire it on the range. Mine must be older as it does not have the key lock option. Thanks again.

Well it looks like they have gone up in price a bit! WoW! An idea is possibly a used one in good condition thats already broke in! Have you tried auction sites like gunbroker? Also google Buds Gun Shop they have some nice prices on their 25acp's but w/on line you have shipping and transfer fee which increases the cost!
the only thing making me want to buy this more than the bobcat 21a is the fact that the bobcat has the ugliest trigger guard ive ever seen, it looks like sheet metal lol
i own a taurus pt22 and have had my pearl grip handle crack on the right side near the lever/rail that cycles the hammer and now will have to buy some rubber grips and hopefully that will solve the problem
Finally a review of a gun that I own. It's fun to shoot but man that slide is tough! Like you, I tip the barrel and load one instead of racking the slide. Great videos as always. Thanks!!
Yes, he does. I guess I'm very fortunate to have him work there, although I do not take him for granted, heck I even offer to buy sometimes. HAVE A GOOD THANKSGIVING!
What a tiny pistol :) There isn't a lot of demand for those here in Europe as the primary use of these is concealed carry as a pocket pistol :) Nice review !
Well I have some good news ! I'm in the market for my first .22 pistol. But I'm probably looking into the direction of target pistols like the Buckmark :)
I have a very new beretta 21A bobcat....... and i love how it is first shot double action transfer to single action unlike the double action only Taurus..but i have been having a lot of jams i have tried some different kinds of ammo including CCi stingers the next time i am out and about i will pick up some mini mags and give them a try.......... By the way great video Six cant wait for the next installment
Hey! aramaki23 be sure to watch the next clip as I also use to own a Bobcat so we will be talking about that! I had issues with mine but I loved that little Beretta!
Very nice pistols. I always loved pocket pistols, but we can't buy them in Australia unless we're collectors. That means if we can't shoot them that's why I went for a target pistol licence instead. Very disappointing laws. Great video 5*s.
Awesome as always I just don't know about Taurus guns.I respect your reviews and buy the guns you like and review.I will buy a Taurus if you buy a block (sorry typo) Glock..Thanks for your hard work.Devoted fan .

Or am I wrong?

Just asking.
Great little guns Ruger...

stealthyshooter 2 years ago
I guess I'm basically referring to actually checking the gun after shooting to make sure it's unloaded. Should have made that more clear. Sorry.
And of course the gun would jam if the slide does not fully operate to allow extraction of the empty cartridge.
